Releasing Control to Christ
We all think we want more control. When our relationships are strained, when the future is uncertain, we think control promises security and peace. The problem is, the more we seek control, the more anxiety it gives us. Ed Stetzer sits down with Sharon Hodde Miller to discuss her book, The Cost of Control: Why We Crave it, the Anxiety it Gives Us and the Real Power God Promises, and the problems we have in seeking control and the real power God has given us in Christ, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives on Ed Stetzer Live.
